What are Access Towers?
An access tower is a portable, height-adjustable structure designed to provide complete access to various platforms levels of a building, or to help you reach the roof.
Made up of diagonal stair ladders, access towers & support connect to your scaffolding for a safe solution to difficult access.
When to Hire an Access Tower
Lots of environments often demand the need for access equipment. Here’s when you might need an access tower in Peterborough and surrounding areas:
- Roof Repairs: Excellent for accessing roof levels safely, access towers enable roofing contractors to reach these high spots without the need for a full scaffolding setup.
- High and Hard-to-Reach Areas: Great for tasks requiring extra height or reaching extreme heights safely.
- High-Rise or Office Block Renovation: If you’re renovating, painting, or repairing specific areas of a tall building, a stairway access tower helps you reach different platform levels as you go.
- Carrying Materials or Heavy Equipment: If you’re carrying materials up and down your scaffolding, it’s often safer to use an access tower than a ladder.
- Multi-person Access: If more than one person is ascending and descending at once, you’ll need an access tower as a ladder is only usable by one person at a time.
- Uneven Ground: Ladders are very unsafe on uneven ground. Access towers can be adjusted to accommodate varying levels, especially on cobbled streets or rough terrain.
- Regulation Compliance: Depending on your project, regulations may mandate you use an access tower over ladders — especially if you’re working at height.
- Long-Term Projects: For extended periods working at height, stairs offer a more comfortable and less tiring way to access the platform compared to repeatedly climbing a ladder.
